Topics: Agatha Christie, Hercule Poirot, audiobook, mystery, murder, detective

Language: English

The Murder on the Links is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie, first published in the UK in 1923.

The story takes place in northern France, giving Poirot a hostile competitor from the Paris Sûreté. Poirot's long memory for past or similar crimes proves useful in resolving the crimes. The book is notable for a subplot in which Hastings falls in love, a development "greatly desired on Agatha's part... parcelling off Hastings to wedded bliss in the Argentine."

Subject: Great Story.

Mr Oliver's voice resembles John Hurt, a nice change from the Fraser ones. Not that I don't like the Fraser narration, it's just that it's hard to get away from picturing the TV series, (and some of Mr Fraser's character voices sound very similar).

Recording is taken from audio cassette, (remember those!), and sounds really good, with the exception of a couple of small sections, where is sounds like the tape has been damaged, but they are very small sections.
